Benefits of Vegan Recycled Rubber for our Sneakers Outsoles

Did you know our sneakers' outsoles are made from vegan recycled rubber?

At Wayz, we are committed to reducing the shoe industry's significant environmental footprint. Recycled rubber is highly valued as a mindful alternative to synthetic rubber. It offers numerous practical benefits for those who seek durability, comfort, and eco-friendliness in their footwear.

So, here are a few reasons why many people look for vegan recycled rubber worldwide:

Recycled & Recyclable

Every year, 22 billion pairs of shoes are thrown away. Millions of tons of rubber end up in landfills every year. Therefore, we refuse to turn a blind eye to this issue.

As a way of valuing traceability and promoting visionary green local companies, we partnered with Bolflex, a reference at the European level for the supplying of outsoles.

We source the rubber used to make the outsoles of Wayz sneakers from production scraps created in the manufacturing process of other outsoles. By doing it, we can repurpose 100% of internal waste without compromising the quality of the final product.

As rubber is an infinitely recyclable resource, we don’t need to extract any raw materials to make the soles of our sneakers. As a result, we promote circularity and help to preserve our planet’s precious rainforests.

Comfortable & Flexible

Rubber outsoles are known for the comfort they offer. Moreover, rubber is a flexible material, allowing the outsole to bend and move with the foot’s natural motion. This flexibility reduces the strain on the feet and provides a pleasant walking experience.

Additionally, rubber has great shock-absorbing properties, cushioning the impact of each step, which reduces fatigue during prolonged use.

Safe & Resistant

Another key benefit of rubber outsoles is their excellent traction. The natural properties of rubber help to grip the ground firmly, preventing slips and falls, which is crucial for safety.

Furthermore, rubber is highly resistant to water, keeping your feet dry and comfortable, even in adverse weather conditions.

Durable & Sustainable

One of the most significant advantages of rubber outsoles is their durability.

Rubber is an inherently tough and resilient material that can withstand constant wear and tear. This makes it particularly suitable for sneakers outsoles, which are the most exposed part of the shoe and take the brunt of daily activities.

Rubber outsoles maintain their structural integrity when exposed to hot or cold temperatures, rough surfaces, and frequent use, ensuring consistent performance all year round.

After some years of use, usual signs of wear might start to appear, but you won’t need to worry. We can repair and resole your sneakers.

With the help of our local partners, we recycle the old outsoles and replace them with new ones, extending the lifespan of your Wayz even further.
